Chapter 502: Early Stomach Pain

~8 min read 1,551 words

Doctors and nurses swarmed in, placed Jian Yixin onto a stretcher, and pushed her toward the operating room.

……

The red light above the operating room lit up.

Everyone waited outside.

Lady Jian came over to thank Shi Youxuan: "Thank you, Xuanxuan. If it weren't for the good idea you came up with, Yixin wouldn't have been able to have the surgery so smoothly..."

Shi Youxuan corrected her: "Hold on, you don't need to be so polite. This wasn't my idea, nor was it my decision, and it has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

It wasn't that she was being petty, but this matter had to be made clear.

The specific method was indeed proposed by Shi Youxuan, but the premise was that everyone else was at their wits' end.

The Jian Family wanted to trick Jian Yixin into the operating room; they couldn't let her do as she pleased.

It was under that premise that she came up with such an idea.

But Lady Jian coming over to thank her definitely meant she had no good intentions!

Once the surgery was over, Jian Yixin would inevitably be furious when she woke up. Who would bear the brunt of her anger then?

She could trust the character of Jian Fu, Jian Yining, and Sheng Zerong.

But Lady Jian was the only one whose character Shi Youxuan truly did not trust.

This woman was smiling at her, but she definitely had ill intentions and was preparing to shift the blame!

Shi Youxuan spoke the ugly truth upfront, and in front of everyone, which made Lady Jian feel she had lost face.

Losing face was a minor matter; the main thing was that her inner thoughts had been seen through by Shi Youxuan.

That was right; that was exactly what she had been thinking.

She had intended to wait for her daughter to wake up and dump all the dirty water onto Shi Youxuan's head!

But now that she had been exposed, she was unhappy.

Lady Jian gave a dry laugh, but still wouldn't give up: "Look at what you're saying. You are our family's great benefactor, helping us come up with such a good idea; how can it have nothing to do with you..."

"Stop talking. My sister is still in the operating room; can't you just be quiet?" Scolded by her son, she finally shut her mouth.

Time ticked away, second by second.

"Ouch!"

Shi Youxuan clutched her stomach and crouched on the ground. Her stomach had just suddenly hurt violently, feeling very similar to when she gave birth to Shi Ran.

But the due date was still half a month away; was she going into labor early?

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Is it time to give birth?" Sheng Hanyu hurriedly supported her, his palms sweating with nervousness.

The pain only lasted a moment and soon faded.

But Shi Youxuan dared not take it lightly; she felt the changes in her body and realized she was likely about to give birth.

She nodded and whispered: "Hanyu, I think I'm going into labor."

"I'll carry you over."

Sheng Hanyu bent down to pick her up and carry her to the Hospital Ward.

Shi Youxuan giving birth at the Jian Family Hospital had been decided several months ago.

The delivery room and the private room for resting after the birth had been prepared a month before the due date.

Therefore, even though it was an early start, everything was ready and waiting for them, which was very convenient.

Although it wasn't the first time Sheng Hanyu was becoming a father, it was his first time seeing his wife give birth, and he was very nervous.

Shi Youxuan didn't let him carry her, telling him that although her stomach hurt, it wouldn't be that fast, and he should just support her as she walked over!

Wang Yinghao and Sheng Hanyu stood on either side, supporting Shi Youxuan, their faces full of nervousness as they walked toward the elevator.

Jin Wan'er hesitated for a moment, whispered a few words to Jian Yining, and followed: "I'll go with you."

One was her sister-in-law, the other was her own sister; at this critical moment, she chose to witness the birth of her nephew.

The hallway, which had been packed with people, instantly became half empty.

A flash of jealous resentment flickered in Lady Jian's eyes.

……

Inside the delivery room.

"Ah—"

"It hurts to death! Sheng Hanyu, you jerk, why is it that the child belongs to both of us, but only I am in pain?"

Sheng Hanyu: ……

How was he supposed to answer that question?

There was no answer.

The best way was to be humble and apologetic.

"I'm sorry, wifey. I wish I could take the pain for you. How about you bite me to vent your anger?"

She actually did bite down.

But one bite wasn't enough; Shi Youxuan left a row of tooth marks on Sheng Hanyu's arm.

Yet she was still in so much pain that sweat broke out on her forehead.

"Sheng Hanyu, it still hurts so much, what should I do?" Shi Youxuan wailed.

She felt she was so fragile, weak, pitiful, and helpless.

She felt very aggrieved, so aggrieved she wanted to cry.

And so, she let out a "Wah—" and burst into tears.

The midwife stood to the side, speechless.

She felt this expectant mother was a bit dramatic, but the woman had a powerful background, so she didn't dare to scold her.

She feared that if she scolded him just once, she would be fired and kicked out the very next second.

The cervix had only dilated four centimeters; it was not yet the most painful moment.

The woman in labor's screaming was not entirely genuine; it was for her husband to see, to let the man see how difficult it was for her, and to make her husband feel sorry for her.

And she had indeed succeeded.

The sweat on Sheng Hanyu's head was even more profuse than that on Shi Youxuan; he was so anxious he was at a loss, not knowing what to do.

He asked the midwife, "Is there any way to make her not hurt?"

The midwife said, "There is painless childbirth..."

Shi Youxuan immediately objected, "No need, don't listen to him, I can hold on."

She stopped screaming as well; enough was enough.

Upon hearing there was painless childbirth, Sheng Hanyu decided immediately that she should get the injection.

Shi Youxuan opposed it, "No, that injection has side effects and could potentially harm the child; I won't have it."

Not only did she refuse the injection, but she also started shooing people out, "You go out, go out; I will give birth by myself, I don't need you."

Sheng Hanyu would not leave and insisted on staying to accompany her.

He had missed Shi Ran's birth and had regretted it for a long time.

Now that Xiao Erbao was being born, he could not miss it no matter what!

Shi Youxuan insisted, "You go out; I see you here and I get nervous, I can't give birth."

"Really?" Sheng Hanyu was half-doubting.

He had heard that a woman is at her most vulnerable when giving birth and needs her husband's company, yet she said she was nervous.

But Xuanxuan wouldn't stand on ceremony with him; if she said she was nervous, it must be true, right?

"Hurry up and go..." Shi Youxuan widened her eyes; this was a precursor to her getting angry.

"Don't be angry, I'm going, I'm going out right now."

Sheng Hanyu looked back every step of the way, leaving the delivery room with great reluctance.

During the process of leaving, he kept urging, "Xuanxuan, I'll be right at the door; if you need me, just yell, and I'll come in immediately."

Shi Youxuan did not answer; she closed her eyes and waved her hand.

The meaning was—hurry up and go, you talk too much.

In reality, the labor pains had come again, but she knew she couldn't scream anymore.

From now on, the pain would likely come in stronger waves, and screaming and yelling would serve no purpose other than to increase panic.

If she exhausted all her strength, she would have none left when it was time to actually give birth.

Sheng Hanyu did not want to leave, but he dared not stay for fear of making his wife angry.

He shuffled toward the exit slowly, very unwillingly.

"Bang!"

Shi Youxuan grabbed the cup beside her and threw it at him, though of course, she didn't throw it at Sheng Hanyu himself.

The cup hit the floor and shattered a few meters away from Sheng Hanyu.

"Get out quickly, I don't want to see you."

"Alright, alright, I'm going out right now, please don't be angry." Only then did Sheng Hanyu stop hesitating and hurry out.

The midwives and doctors in the delivery room were stunned.

Was this woman too fierce?

Fierce and unreasonable, yet she was held on the tip of her husband's heart and pampered in the palms of his hands.

After Sheng Hanyu was driven out of the delivery room, Shi Youxuan finally let out a long breath.

Then, she began to inhale and exhale in rhythm with the labor pains!
